It depends on the context
In the case of some Mods it means that it is not part of a developing story, eg. C&C. Instead, part of their own story.
In other cases it means that there will be no sequels to it, with a defined beginning and end.

Wikipedia says,
Quote:

A standalone entity is something that has no dependencies; it can "stand alone". Standalone may also refer to the following topics:

-Standalone software is software that can be run without installation
the standalone attribute in XML
standalone expansion pack for games

-a standalone installment in serial fiction is one that is unrelated or unnecessary to appreciate the main storyline

-a standalone protein domain in molecular biology is a protein domain that exists as a single domain, and as such are believed to perform a single function

-a standalone cupcake mold in baking does not need a pan to hold itself up


I hope that that is the answer you wanted.

In this case, stand-alone means that once you download Twisted Insurrection all you would have to do is make a New Directory and Move all the downloaded Twisted Insurrection files into that directory to play, you don't have to actually have Tiberian Sun to play Twisted Insurrection.

Why don't make seperate EXE? to only your .MIX/.ini that you want.

I think he means so it doesnt have to be standalone, like many mods just have their own exe so it wont interfere with vanilla.

Yes that's correct, and Twisted Insurrection does have its own .EXE and .DLL's.
